Inventory

[ajaynjr]

I have a table of backordered items and a table of incoming shipments to fulfill those backorders. The quantity of the backorder often exceeds the quantity of any one fulfillment shipment. For a given item i need to take a cumulative of arriving shipments and calculate when I will have recieved enough to fill the backorders. Be gentle, I'm a newb.

ITEMID	Actual Back Order Qty
UCJV300-160	16

ITEMNUMBER	AVAILDATE	QTYREMAINING
UCJV300-160	8/16/2021	8
UCJV300-160	8/27/2021	6
UCJV300-160	9/6/2021	6
UCJV300-160	9/22/2021	2
UCJV300-160	9/23/2021	12
UCJV300-160	9/29/2021	6

I would in this example be able to fill backorders by 9/6/2021.  Any help would be appreciated.

@ajaynjr,

Try this solution.

1. Create measures:

Qty Remaining = SUM ( ArrivingShipments[QTYREMAINING] )

Backorder Fill Date = 
VAR vBackOrderQty = [Actual Back Order Qty]
VAR vBaseTable =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        SUMMARIZE (
            ArrivingShipments,
            ArrivingShipments[ITEMNUMBER],
            ArrivingShipments[AVAILDATE]
        ),
        "@QtyRemaining", [Qty Remaining]
    )
VAR vFinalTable =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        vBaseTable,
        "@RunningTotal",
            VAR vDate = ArrivingShipments[AVAILDATE]
            RETURN
                CALCULATE ( [Qty Remaining], ArrivingShipments[AVAILDATE] <= vDate )
    )
VAR vResult =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( ArrivingShipments[AVAILDATE] ),
        FILTER ( vFinalTable, [@RunningTotal] >= vBackOrderQty )
    )
RETURN
    vResult

This measure was already in your pbix:

Actual Back Order Qty = 
    SUM(BackOrderedItems[BackOrder])
        -SUM(BackOrderedItems[QtyReserved])
            -Sum(BackOrderedItems[Picked])

2. In table visual "From Back Ordered Items Table", ITEMID should be from table INVENTORYMASTERTABLE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I pictured that the solution would require an intermediate table and the varResult calculation is exatly what I knew it should be, but my expression-building chops aren't there yet.
Thank yu for taking the time to share with all of us DAX beginners.  I'm going to try this right now.
